The Strengthening Pill was crafted by alchemists using various precious spiritual herbs, designed to fortify the vital energies of one’s life force. The fact that each tiny pill, only the size of a green mung bean, could sell for such a price indicated its rarity—and it was an indispensable resource for entering the Strengthening Phase.
Years of cultivation, along with Wang Wu’s decent aptitude and relentless training, had enabled him to progress to the late stages of the Blood Nourishing Phase by using all the resources he had painstakingly gathered. Now, continuing from the late stage to the peak of the Blood Nourishing Phase required the use of as many as fifteen bottles of Blood Nourishing Elixir.
Only in this way could he bring his vital essence to a pinnacle, which would allow him to take the Strengthening Pill and better enhance his life force during the operation of his cultivation practice.
Originally, obtaining these resources was no easy task, but thanks to the developnt of the fortress and the acquisition of abundant resources in the vast wilderness outside, he gathered enough to completely replenish what he needed.
After confirming the exchange, Wang Wu quickly received his materials from the staff—a box containing fifteen green vials and one white jade bottle.
The green vials were made of porcelain and held the Blood Nourishing Elixir, used for cultivation in the Blood Nourishing Phase. The white jade bottle, made of mixed jade, naturally contained the Strengthening Pills.
Jade was currently the cheapest material that could co into contact with spiritual substances. The Strengthening Pills were precious, and to prevent the dissipation of their dicinal power, they were all stored in mixed jade.
For the Blood Nourishing Elixir, porcelain vials were enough.
"Huff."
Having placed all these items into the safe provided by the Exchange Hall, Wang Wu breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he picked up the box and turned to leave, heading straight to his own room.
As a mber of the minority of cultivation practitioners, even though Wang Wu was not at ho, his household had people coming regularly to clean. So, although he had been away for a long ti, his ho was not dirty.
After returning ho, Wang Wu rested quietly for a day and a night. Then, he went to the exclusive dining hall to eat his fill before heading to the specially constructed soundproof cultivation room. After hanging the cultivation sign, he began his intensive training.
"Huh~"
With a relaxed posture, Wang Wu slowly practiced the universally-known fundantal essence-nourishing cultivation technique. An hour later, feeling his condition had adjusted to the best state, he took a soft breath and took out a bottle of Blood Nourishing Elixir.
"Pop~"
He opened the stopper, and the brown liquid with a strange scent—reminiscent of heather flowers—wafted out.
"Gurgle~"
Without a change in expression, Wang Wu tilted his head back and swallowed the elixir in one gulp. In the next mont, he felt the rich dicinal power instantly spread within his body. His expression shifted, and he imdiately assud a position to delve deeper into intensive cultivation.
His cultivation technique operated in layers, and the elixir in his body was continuously absorbed, turning into the purest essence.
With the absorption of the elixir and the growth of his vital essence, Wang Wu’s body beca increasingly robust and powerful.
The realm of the Blood Nourishing Phase also began to slowly advance.
Under the effects of the Blood Nourishing Elixir, the efficiency of his cultivation soared at a speed that would be unimaginable under normal circumstances.
Thus, bottle by bottle, again and again.
Two months later, excluding rest periods for consumption of the elixir, the fifteen bottles were finally perfectly absorbed by Wang Wu, and his own realm had reached the consummate level of the Blood Nourishing Phase. His qi and blood were so vigorous and refined, like a furnace, intimidating to all who beheld it.
"Creak~"
Wang Wu clenched his hand and a piece of fine steel was crushed by his trendous strength into a mud-like substance, balled up. A trace of a smile flitted across his lips.
Now, he was comparable to a martial artist at the Bone Tempering Stage of ancient martial arts.
"Next, it’s the Strengthening Phase."
Taking a deep breath, Wang Wu did not rush to take the Strengthening Pill for cultivation. Instead, he properly rested for two days. It was not until the third day that he entered the quiet room, brimming with energy, took out the jade bottle, ingested a Strengthening Pill, and began the breakthrough.
"Boom..."
As soon as the pill entered his mouth, it transford into a surge of abundant energy, which directly affected the deepest energies within his body.
Under the influence of the pill, Wang Wu’s life force began to be nourished, slowly activated, and grew.
For an entire day and night, amidst the tingling growth of his life essence, Wang Wu finally digested a single Vigor Pill and imdiately took the second without pause, continuing his cultivation.
A breakthrough into the Vigorous Realm required the consecutive consumption of three Vigor Pills; otherwise, the initial activation and nurturing of the life essence would be incomplete, rendering the pills wasted.
Therefore, one after another, Wang Wu finished all three Vigor Pills in his hand before concluding this session of cultivation.
And at the mont he finished his training, his essence roared and broke through to the Vigorous Realm.
"Huff~"
With his eyes closed in ditation, Wang Wu opened them and instantly felt a powerful force fill his body, solid as steel yet as light as a swallow, flooding into his heart in almost an instant.
"Is this the feeling of the Vigorous Realm?"
Wang Wu’s emotions surged as he felt the new strength coursing through his body, and he couldn’t help but start to practice his moves in the room.
"Boom..."
He turned his body, following the trajectories of the Mixed Yuan Palm contained in the Daoist Technique "Mixed Yuan Gong" he had learned, and with one palm strike, the punch force tester made of special materials instantly shattered.
"The limit of this punch force tester is the peak of the Nourished Blood Realm, and it cannot display anything beyond that. To shatter it requires a force greatly surpassing the peak of the Nourished Blood Realm, which ans... the power of the Vigorous Realm."
A smirk crossed Wang Wu’s lips, another significant validation being that he could effortlessly execute the Mixed Yuan Palm, a technique that could only be used within the Inner Vigorous Realm!
All these things related to the Inner Vigorous Realm excited him without fail.
"Huff, now that I’m in the Inner Vigorous Realm, it’s ti to take care of so matters."
Wang Wu exhaled a breath, a look of impatience flashing in his eyes, and imdiately strode out the door, heading to his area manager to display his cultivation level.
The regional manager was naturally very pleased with the enhancent of his subordinate’s cultivation strength and promptly reported up the chain, granting Wang Wu the privileges he was entitled to.
Only after the notification was complete did Wang Wu express his gratitude, carrying a brand-new seal, and boldly headed towards the garnt factory where he once worked.
Upon entering the factory, the director personally received him, and with a casual ntion by Wang Wu, he directly approached the production line where he worked.
There, amidst the workers dressed in blue, Wang Wu’s gaze searched through the crowd and swiftly locked onto a woman with fair skin, a graceful figure, and a dainty appearance.
"Aunt Chen, I’ve co to pick you up."
Seeing this familiar face from his neighborhood who survived the apocalypse beside him, Wang Wu imdiately showed a radiant smile, and step by step he approached this now more mature woman, without hesitation wrapping his hands around her hips covered by the blue work pants and lifted her into his embrace.
"Director Liu, from today onwards, she is a free citizen and will be part of my household."
With his right hand supporting Aunt Chen’s back and his left hand encircling her knee, Wang Wu turned his head and addressed the director beside him, even as the woman was still sowhat stunned.
The director dared not disagree, and under Wang Wu’s privilege, he watched as the man took the woman back to his residence under the gaze of many forr coworkers.
"Xiao Wu, tell Auntie, what’s going on here?"
It was only after Wang Wu had carried her back ho did Aunt Chen regain her senses and asked him in a sowhat flustered manner.
"Aunt Chen, I’ve broken through to the Inner Vigorous Realm and obtained certain privileges, which allowed to bring you over. From today on, you’re my person; you’ll neither have to go anywhere nor do anything."
Wang Wu smiled radiantly, and it was at that mont that Aunt Chen fully grasped the situation, while Wang Wu had already begun to roughly knead her chest and back.
"Xiao Wu, you... go slowly."
Wang Wu watched Aunt Chen’s embarrassed yet unresisting expression and chuckled, continuing his kneading motion as he nudged her towards the sofa.
